Im not one to like to rush into things. When Im in a certain moment where Id like to embrace and learn, I’d find myself taking my time to evaluate every corner, every angle and every scenarios. I know the reason I do that is because I enjoy it - I enjoy the journey or the ride and not so much the destination.
And on the other hand, my job requires me to be quick and fast-thinking. It requires me to have to be one to embrace urgency; and I get that. Because some things are, in fact, time sensitive. And to remain aware of how time and place truly affects the impact of our cause or message.
Does me wanting to spend more time with people, make me a low value agent? Should I look at things the way some other agents look at our industry - with focus on financial stability to those who are already looking for it? Cant I get to know people first, and enjoy learning about them first?
Its a very thin line I see, between learning about our community, and taking too much time to address my purpose in creating that relationship.
So the question remains - what am I doing?
My fear is in insulting and disrespecting the people I meet, if my purpose in building that relationship is not clear from the start. And thats the last thing I want to do, to make anyone feel belittled by my words or actions.
Thats in part of why I take my time, and also why id like to establish that they really want to hear about it before I proceed to share. And thats key.
